ABOUT US

Boy Idols is a
community based project which
started in 2005.

The concept behind Boy Idols was
formed after many years of
experience in the film and
commercial industry in South Africa.
Boy Idols form part of Good Hope
Talent Agency
(
www.goodhopetalent.com )
which is been active and serving the
film and commercial industry for 10
years.

Girls in general is beautiful,
but it is rare that "handsome" boys
make it to the modeling world. With
National and International clients,
Good Hope Talent Agency became one
of the leading casting and modeling
agents in South Africa. With
the growing demand for boy models,
it became clear that there is a huge
market for boy models.

When referring to boy models, we
refer to boys from the ages of 8 to
about 19 years of age.

Take any clothing store or family
magazine as an example. When looking
through the pages, one will see that
many of them contains "fashion"
inserts, featuring boys and girls.
These adverts are generally referred
to as "in-house modeling". In-house
modeling is not the same as "ramp
modeling" where models parade on a
ramp to promote a new clothing line.

In-house modeling is the
production of fashion stills
pictures, which is either shot in a
studio or out doors. These pictures
are used to promote a new clothing
or fashion range for a variety of
brand lines like Nike, Adidas, Puma,
Levi, etc.

As soon as a person joins a
modeling or casting agent, they
become known as "models".

In order to serve and supply
National and International
production clients with handsome
models, Boy Idols is the result and
solution for this rapid growing and
competitive industry.

With the parents involved, Boy
Idols became a popular concept where
any boy from the age of 6 to 19
years can join and participate.

The concept is simple:

The model is photographed
in the out doors, wearing a
variety of clothing;

A portfolio is generated from
the photos;

The portfolio photos is then
published on Boy Idols and Good
Hope Talent Agency's website;

These photos are offered for
sale to parents, friends, family
and fans;

Any parent, friend or fan can
vote for the model;

On December 10, every year,
the winning model win a number
of prizes and some cash.

Added benefits:

The model receives 60% of
the income generated from the
on-site sales of his products;

The model can - via Boy Idols
- be booked for any National &
International model shoot;

The management of Boy Idols
become the legal Agent for the
Boy Idol;

During the initial portfolio
shoot, it is compulsory for the
model to be accompanied by a parent,
older sibling, friend or legal
guardian.
